Well, tonight marks my first 2 weeks of sobriety. I've spent several evenings reading the forums and they truly do help. You guys are amazing. I've taken to drinking fresh ground black coffee while I'm on my computer (I used to sit here and get wasted on whatever). Things at work have improved and I've found myself taking on long-overdue projects that will make mine and my staff's lives much easier. My wife has been very supportive but is increasingly honest about how she felt the last couple of years dealing with my alcoholism. These feelings are not easy to hear, but I feel better knowing that she doesn't have to deal with the isolation of living with a drunk who was constantly checked out or passed out. I'm not sure how she feels about the "new me" since she has only known the "drunk me".
